[G] Here's Marv and [C] Rindy Ross.
People wonder how we've, Marv and I have worked [Bb] together so well for so [G] long.
I guess it sort of amazes us too.
But I think the main thing that we have going for [Bb] us is that we seem to compliment each other
because our talents are so different.
There doesn't seem to be any big ego conflict [B] between us because, for instance, Marv writes and I don't
and I [D] sing and Marv doesn't, so we kind of don't get in each other's way.
[G] And we've worked together for such a long time that now [Bm] when I'm writing a song and [G] I have an idea coming in,
I can actually sort of steer the song so that it fits Rindy's style and [Gb] fits her vocal [G] range
and fits, subject matter-wise, that she can sing and be [Gm] comfortable with.
Look [D] [Dm] [Am]
[Gm] [A]
[D]
[A]
me in [D] my eyes and [A] you'll find
[Bm] That [C] I'm really gonna [Am] try this time
I know [D] that love has [Am] hurt before
[A] But I swear I'm gonna give a little more
Babe, [Bb] I'm gonna try, [A] try, try, try
[D] Try to make it true
Yes, [Bb] I'm gonna try, [Am] try, try
[D] Try to make it true
[Dm]
[D] [Am]
Just look [Dm] at old friends [Am] fall apart
[C] It's easy these days to [A] lose heart
So hold [Dm] me close like [Am] you do
And believe me when I say [A] to you
Babe, [Bb] I'm gonna try, try,
[A] try, [D] try
Try to make [Dm] it true
Yes, [Bb] I'm gonna try, [A] try, try, [D] try
Try to make it true
[A] It's so [Bb] easy to fly when your [D] love is away
[A] [Bb] Everybody expects you to [Gm] choose the [G] ways that keep [Gm]
you
[A]
[Bb] Hey Hey
[Am]
[D]
[Bb] [Am]
[D] [Dm]

So much of [Dm] this world seems [Am]
unreal
I [C] can touch it but it [Am] has no feel
It's up [Dm] to me, it's up [Am] to you
Seems to me it's the least we [A] can do
Babe, we've [Bb] gotta try, [Am]
try, try, [D] try
Try to make it true
Yes, we've [Bb] gotta try, [Am]
try, [D] try, try
Try to make it true

[Bm] Brian David Lewis on the drums
[B] Tuning drums and drum sounds really matters a personal taste
[A] I play my drums [B] pretty hard and I like my drum set [Bm] to have a real lively, unmuted kind [B] of sound
And tuning a drum set for this kind of sound can be really involved
But [F] I'm not happy unless [B] everything comes out just the way I'd like it to
[F] While I'm lucky enough that [Em] drumming has become my livelihood
The off hours [Bm] are usually spent [Em] doing maintenance work or rebuilding or restoring of drums
[B] I get a real charge [Bb] playing and working with drums and I just want to keep it [Em] up
